Fact is, you haven't seen Guru Dev or Brahmachari Satyanand at all.
But I do have lineal transmission of Samaya Sri Vidya directly from
his line (Guru Dev's). So I base my View on his same transmission. And
I do know that transmission. (So can anyone).
Satyanand? Only stories. Some flattering. Some less so. An acharya?
No.
Brahmanand Saraswati?
Emphatically YES. And a yogi with ram (fire) siddhi (at very least).
